Spiral Cutter Blocks
The spiral cutter block has four rows of square cutters running
around its circumference. There is 44 square cutters in total on
the 10inch model and 56 cutters on the 12inch model. There is
a blade machined to each side of the square cutter allowing the
cutter to be rotated to a clean sharp edge if one side has been
damaged or has become blunt, see fig 84-85.
The square cutter has an embossed position marker to one
of its four corners, once this mark has gone round one fall

To rotate the cutter, loosen the Torx head screw and rotate until
the new edge is in alignment with the other cutters. Re-tighten
